5.1.1 LED Control

The EVM is configured to support three LEDs to provide state-of-charge information for the cells. Press the LED DISPLAY button to illuminate the LEDs for approximately 5 seconds.

Note: Notice how LEDs are powered from the external LDO device. Make sure the LDO_EN jumper-J9 is removed. LEDs are no longer charlieplexed together as LEDs used to be in the BQ40z50 family devices. The EVM requires an external LDO to power LEDs.
